also from the UK... this posting on the GYROBIKE!

honestly... training wheels may not be the best "training method"but both my boys survived the archaic process and were riding without training wheels around four years

push bikes and gyro bikes... great ideasbut cost?so many of these seem like great tools to be shared within the communityso that child could use them to bridge the gap between riding with training wheels and then withoutpersonally.... I think there are more variables to learn to ride a bike than the push bike offersand with the gyro bike... what do they do before they are ready to learn the balance?

both sound like the training wheel bike needs to remain in the equation

maybe Chito has some answers to this.... his son Velo was doing some Research and Development on the topic!

My Target wooden pushbike knockoff was less than $50. Of course, the cheap nylon axles only lasted through one of my two boys. A significantly better design is made in the good ol' US of A by Strider. All steel frame, very adjustable seatpost, and short footpegs for coasting. If I'd done more research, I would have doubled my investment and gotten one of these.
